i went to the supermarket this morning with the intention of buying a little flax and some fruit. i had no plans on buying half priced candy. years ago i enjoyed the fight for cheap candy but the thrill has gone and i actually get disgusted with the asians walking around with shopping carts full of candy. when i walked past the candy section, predictably all the good stuff was gone. just the twizzlers, rockets, and gum-type shit was left. when i was at the checkout i noticed a mountain of the good stuff. apparently there was a limit on how much you could buy so the greedy people had a few items removed from their baskets. although i had no intention of buying candy the sugar devil on my shoulder whispered in my ear, "buy some of the hershey stuff." so i did. lucky me.
in other news, CANADA STOPS ISSUING VISAS IN EBOLA HOT SPOTS. makes sense to me.
i love you sons of bitches.

Do you think some of the Asians might have been planning to re-sell the half price candy? There's no shortage of canny Asians looking to make a quick profit!
i think they're just hard wired to seek out bargains.
Helen loved chocolate but I seldom feel the need for sweets anymore so haven't bought any since she died in April.
Hey, aren't you the guy that just a few days ago told me that sugar and all kinds of other shit is bad for you?
yeah, but i ate 2 green beans today.
Chocolate is fine with me. But I made lots of peanut butter cookies this year. Went over big!
Good for Canada. At least someone has some damn sense.
2 green beans? No potatoes? You're suffering son!
Pardon me there, Dixie...
Did you just excrete a freshly annealed heart shaped golden trophy?
dixie - if you can figure out what thims says, please let me know.
he still hasn't told me what a bankhazar is.
thims - is capitulation approaching for the junior miners?
I think he was asking her if she passed a good turd.
I love milk chocolate, but I've been opting for the slightly less unhealthy dark chocolate lately.
Man, peanut butter cookies sure sound good.
I'm feeling so lazy today I'll just put up my reply to "CANADA STOPS ISSUING VISAS IN EBOLA HOT SPOTS. makes sense to me." From my blog.
Billy - Makes sense to me too.
It's almost as if there is some sort of logical leadership in Canada when it comes to Ebola.
Americans stand in awe at it's neighbor to the North's reasonable actions toward Ebola.
Perhaps Canada's leaders aren't trying to destroy their country from within, American have almost forgotten what that is like.
I remember that silver tongued devil Reagan demanding the nine irons stop dumping their electronics for below production costs and start buying our fine agricultural exports, or some dumb shit like that.
I remember thinking that selling at a loss, destroying the competition, and then jacking the prices back up to previous levels (or higher) was sapitalism 101.
If I were a nefarious asshole (rather than just a cantankerous asshole)… I mean like the fuckers what run our "global" financial system, and I knew that there was a massive shortage of PM's based on broken promises in the paper markets… well I’d drive that price as low as I could before triggering a panic where everyone demands their metal and instead gets the equivalent in dollars (if that). What an epic fleecing that would be.
But even without the conspiracy theories about missing gold and whatnot, I don’t give a damn. Because the truth is that if energy gets more expensive then so will all other commodities, and if energy gets cheaper then we all make a fuck load of money no matter what we do. Odds are that energy will get more expensive, given the apparent consequences, but who knows… we monkeys can be downright clever when necessity sets a fire under our ass.
I like it when I can get more for less, so whether it is another grand financial conspiracy, fleecing the suckers that they think can afford to endlessly buy their “product”… or just a bunch of oligarchs deciding to hit the gas pedal on production to tank prices and drown out the competition… I say, go for it dumbasses.
tex - try as i might, i just can't get into dark chocolate in a meaningful way. i can eat an ounce or two but for large amounts, i need sugary milk chocolate.
thims - i still have rock solid faith in the commodities, it's the crappy marginal mining companies i'm wondering about. almost every little mining company i look at is facing insolvency.
in better times they'd just sell more paper to the suckers but the suckers have been tapped out at the moment.
TURTLES....
You say marginal... I say margarinel. Sclerotic, even.
BBC beat me to the punch.
i'll never figure out how people can eat bacon after seeing it cook. or eat a wiener after reading how it's made.
or invest in companies that lose money.
Me neither. But not everyone has access to my private stock offerings. So they must take their chances with the dream sycles.
My new doctor is great, my blood pressure is almost down to normal, my sodium count is still low but not dangerously low so we’re not going to sweat it and if I want to eat something with a lot of sodium in it at times that is fine with him. Like an Arby’s roast beef sandwich, so as usual, Leslie is full of shit.
long live the king!
You got to indulge, brother. Get it done. I have read that chocolate makes people momentarily happy. Life is just about trying to get momentarily happy whenever we possibly can.
i plan to be happy a few hours from now.
Are you going to get laid???
"i plan to be happy a few hours from now."
So you're going to eat some chocolate covered bacon?
shaw - watching the canucks beat colorado, then a little farscape, then a little deadwood and an illegal smile.
I bought the popcorn balls...
